4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted: A search was conducted on Vetbiz in accordance with the Rule of Two. No results were received. A search was conducted for historical documents. Task order VA69D-14-F-5404 was placed against contract V797P-4254B as a sole source. It was determined that Micromed LLC., is the only authorized service provider for Summit Imaging Products per email received from the vendor however, Micromed is no longer providing service on behalf of Summit Imaging. The proprietary software in the current system has deemed this requirement a sole source.
